The Asheville Area Arts Council and Buncombe County Schools have partnered to raise funds to purchase art supplies for the Buncombe County Schools Family Resource Center.
Over the last few weeks, artists and community members have created original masterpieces using a single sheet of toilet paper as their canvas. We are auctioning these one-of-a-kind creations to help the Buncombe County Schools Family Resource Center purchase art supplies, such as markers and sidewalk chalk for children in need.
Bidding will take place starting at noon on May 14 and will end at midnight on May 23.
In addition to our COVID resources page, AAAC has a new Reopening Resources page to assist the creative sector with the reopening process. We will continue to add to this page as more information becomes available.
Full program details are currently being finalized and will be posted shortly. We expect online applications will be accepted starting Friday, May 15, and will be due by May 31. Awards will be announced in mid-June.
